Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes Contemporain Watch With Titanium Dial
Greubel Forsey is probably one of, if not the first name that comes to mind when one talks about companies specializing in tourbillons. The company is almost obsessed with this mechanism and is adamant that it really does improve chronometric performance. Even their competition and other selective watchmakers freely admit their work is top notch.If you are skeptical, know that their Double Tourbillon Technique watch won the 2011 International Chronometry Competition held by the Le Locle Museum of Horology. Hence, the tourbillon(s) in their watches are definitely not for show.To be honest, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Contemporain is not new, and is?derived from the earlier Invention Piece 3. Ariel had the chance to handle it a year ago and was blown away by its blue dial. Indeed, the "royal blue" dial is a work of art, and according to Greubel Forsey, they took a very long time to perfect the color. However, as pretty as it is, there are some who would inevitably find it too flashy. Fear

Perry Mason watch
I'm hoping someone can help me identify this watch. It was worn by Raymond Burr in episode #27 of the first season of Perry Mason. I know the resolution isn't good, but the dial has even numbers with markers at the odd numbers, curved lugs, and apparently some kind of logo under the 12.

Now that I have one (pre-owned), I guess I should be able to say the name! Any help?

Watch Feeding Frenzy
By this time last year, I'd purchased way more than a dozen watches - and added about four or five more by the end of the year.So far in 2008, I've gotten two new watches, but only bought one. I took delivery of my Watch Talk Forums LE in January or Feb. but paid for it in 2007, so to me it doesn't count as a 2008 purchase.My only 2008 purchase has been a Clerc CX Scuba, which I have wanted for many, many years.I've come close to buying several others this year, but for one reason or another couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. For me, the economy isn't a factor - thankfully. I'm just sorting out my collection's direction.What about you?

5167 worth liquidating for?
Hello everyone, I have decided that I would like to get a 5167 as my next piece (and first Patek). I have handled the watch and started to really understand what the extra money and effort produces compared to other brands. I am in a position to purchase one now, but would need to liquidate both of my Rolex watches to get there (pre-ceramic Daytona and GMT Master II LN). The Daytona is not a concern to me as I purchased it solely as a good deal between friends (he could care less that I'm selling it now). The real question is whether selling both would be worth it to move up to the Patek. Other than the GMT and Daytona, I have a Nomos Orion (my dressier piece), a sinn 556i and Seiko skx007j. The 5167 would fill in as the watch I will wear 5+ days a week. The obvious answer would be to keep one (or both) and buy the 5167, but I have set aside as much as I would like to for watches at this time. From the eyes of Patek owners, would you rather have the Daytona and GMT or 5167.Thank you in
